The Hidden Treasure
A downloadable game
Something goes wrong during your search for the long-lost hidden treasure, and now you are also lost! Can you locate the three orbs to help you escape?
The Hidden Treasure is a short 15-20 minute puzzle-platformer inspired by one of my favourite games, La-Mulana. I've wanted to make a video game for many years, and when I first played La-Mulana I knew immediately that was the kind of game I wanted to make: a cryptic puzzle-based metroidvania. This game is of course much simpler. It's my first game, so I had to learn how to do everything to complete this project, and simple though it is, I'm proud to have completed and published it. Now that it's done, I one day hope to eventually expand this prototype into a full game. Until then!

neat little package! puzzles were tricky, and they were well-designed and compact enough that it was never annoying to have to retry if I messed up. good music overall as well, very charming. the only real issue I had is that the game seemed to eat my inputs every now and then.
but really, good job! this is a very solid first game in both presentation and flow. c:
also I like that the main dude has a lil butt
Thank you so much for playing!
